Depending on your age, you probably don’t pay much attention to the NBA All-Star game. Jayhawk fans will play more attention to next month’s contest in Los Angeles. Voters selected former Kansas basketball standout Joel Embiid to the starting lineup for the East team. This is bid deal for so many reasons. Wilt Chamberlain was the last Jayhawk to start in an NBA All-Star game. I certainly didn’t realize that.
I know a lot of Jayhawk fans who voted for and wanted Embiid to make the All-Star team. Since fans accounted for 50 percent of the vote to selected the starters, had a good chance this year.
